LE TRIPHASIC PENS
This program is used to re-educate lower extremity agonist - antagonist muscle pairs where fine motor control
and positioning is required. It is called Triphasic because the agonist fires first, followed by the antagonist
followed by a small burst of agonist muscle to slow down the antagonist and position the joint. Patterned Electrical
Neuromuscular Stimulation (PENS) is a precise reproduction of EMG firing patterns of muscle agonist and antagonist
pairs. PENS should be used prior to Therex to improve recruitment and motor performance. It’s also used to decrease
spasticity and muscle tone.

TENS-LVPC MOTOR
This program motor level stimulation provides neuromuscular stimulation to begin treatment of disuse muscle
atrophy. Target tissue is superficial. Bipolar placement over local and distal trigger points. The intensity should
be set to elicit a moderate muscle twitch.
